The CEO's Substitute Wife Is A Genius-Chapter 436: Not a Ghost Marriage, but a Yin Marriage

Chapter 436: Chapter 436: Not a Ghost Marriage, but a Yin Marriage

There seemed to be a sense of madness.

Jiang Man casually looked over Wen Jingya and noticed that she was wearing only one shoe, while her other foot was clad only in a sock, which had become dirty and black.

Her white cotton outfit was even worse, filthy.

Her hair was messy, looking no different from a bird’s nest.

Although spring had begun, the temperatures in the northern city had not risen quickly.

A normal person would not walk around with only one shoe.

"She was expelled from the Lu Family, we all saw the news."

"But I heard she still had some pocket money in her card, was staying in high-end hotels, spending a lot, she shouldn’t have turned into this state in just one month, right?"

"Better stay away from her."

Many students avoided her, staying far away.

After all, the mentally ill are not legally responsible for killing.

Jiang Man furrowed her brows, also surprised by her drastic change.

Soon, someone called the security guards over.

The two security guards, knowing she was no longer Miss Lu, treated her quite rudely.

Grabbing her by both arms, they were about to haul her out.

"Don’t... ah... dead people... don’t marry dead people... don’t..."

Wen Jingya suddenly went mad like she was triggered, kicking frantically.

Each kick seemed to use all her strength. Failing to break free, she started to scream and shake her head wildly.

Her crazed manner terrified everyone.

Mao Lili pulled Zhang Ziqi, and both instinctively stepped back.

"Man, let’s not watch this, let’s go to the classroom, her condition looks quite scary."

Jiang Man crossed her arms and furrowed her brows, "Let’s go."

The way Wen Jingya is now, she got what she deserved.

...

The first day of the new semester didn’t have classes, so the tutor and students chatted together.

They talked about life, about art; the morning classes ended quickly.

At noon, Mao Lili suggested that four of them go out to a meal off-campus to welcome the new semester.

Not far from the school, there was an alley with several upscale restaurants.

Students did patronize them, but they were much quieter than the regular diner.

Mao Lili and Zhang Ziqi entered a Hong Kong-style tea restaurant and chose a good spot near the window.

From the window, one could see a small river; the weeping willows already showing signs of budding.

When Jiang Man walked into the alley, she felt her stomach churning.

"Auntie, are you okay?" Wen Rui had initially felt awkward calling her this, but gradually got used to it.

Jiang Man held her, her brows deeply furrowed, "I’m pregnant, can’t stand the smell of greasy food."

"What???" Wen Rui’s eyes widened with surprise.

But seeing Jiang Man gesturing her to keep quiet, the young girl immediately nodded like a pounding garlic, "I know, I know. I won’t spread it around, not even to Zhang."

The pregnancy was definitely something Auntie should tell others herself.

"Shall we go somewhere else?" Wen Rui, shorter than Jiang Man, actively acted as her human handrail.

Jiang Man waved her hand, "It’s okay, the morning sickness isn’t severe."

While they were talking, a deep voice of scolding came from not far away, "I told you not to run around! If you run again, I’ll break your legs!"

"Whimper... I’m scared... Don’t want to go back..."

"You don’t have a choice, you’re now a daughter-in-law of the Zhang Family!"

"Auntie, why does that voice sound so familiar to me?" Wen Rui pricked up her ears.

Jiang Man was very calm, her voice even and unflustered, "Zhang Jianwen’s mother and Wen Jingya."

She never forgot what she saw or heard.

Wen Rui sincerely expressed his admiration, blinking his eyes, "Should we meddle in this? This situation sounds a bit off. Hasn’t the Zhang Family given up yet? Are they planning to force Wen Jingya to marry their son in a ghost marriage? That’s illegal!"

"You’re wrong, it’s not a ghost marriage, it’s a shadow marriage," Jiang Man corrected.

"Ah? Didn’t Zhang’s mother mean a ghost marriage before?" Wen Rui was stunned.

"To kill for a life, could she really intend to kill Wen Jingya to match her son with a ghost marriage? Clearly not, you heard their conversation, it should be about a shadow marriage."

"Ghost marriage, shadow marriage, isn’t it the same?" Wen Rui tilted his head, clearly confused.

"Search it online." Jiang Man didn’t bother explaining further.

She strode toward the deep corner of the alley.

Indeed, she saw two people scuffling at the end of the alley.

A van was parked there, and two men jumped out, about to carry Wen Jingya away.

Zhang’s mother looked around, and upon seeing Jiang Man, she hurriedly waved, "Go away! Hurry up!"

She clearly looked guilty.

Jiang Man didn’t dare chase too fiercely, with something in her belly, she was afraid if she ran too much, she might lose it.

...

Night.

After returning to Rong Mansion, she still dwelled on what she had seen and heard during the day.

Lu Xingzhou had dragged a small stool over and was sawing something beside her.

The once untouchable billionaire CEO had turned into a carpenter, working hard to handcraft a small wooden bed for the baby.

Jiang Man lazily leaned on the sofa directing him.

Seeing the large beads of sweat on his forehead, the harsh contours of his face softened under the light.

She stood up from the sofa, sat down on the coffee table beside her, and reached out to hook his chin.

Lu Xingzhou intuitively turned his head, accurately capturing her lips with a kiss.

Jiang Man pursed her lips and smiled, lifting his chin higher, leaning down to kiss him fiercely.

"I’ve already stated, I’m only responsible for giving birth; I won’t handle anything after that."

"Don’t worry, I’ll handle it. You go through the hardships for ten months, and I’ll take on the next eighteen years," Lu Xingzhou promised seriously.

Jiang Man laughed, she was just joking with him.

She took a few tissues, gently wiping the sweat from his forehead.

"Today, I saw Wen Jingya. She was kidnapped by the Zhang Family and forced into a shadow marriage. She seemed traumatized and now is acting crazily."

Lu Xingzhou, hearing this, was stunned for a long time.

He had thought the Zhang Family’s previous mention of a ghost marriage was just hysterical nonsense.

"Are we getting involved?" Jiang Man raised her eyebrows, looking devilishly attractive yet somewhat nonchalant.

"No," Lu Xingzhou hesitated for a moment, then decided, "She’s no longer part of the Lu Family. All we can do is file a police report for her."

"Mhm." Jiang Man smiled.

Filing a police report yet saying not getting involved?

In the end, Lu Xingzhou still had some compassion.

Having lived with Wen Jingya for twenty years, treated her like family for twenty years, it was impossible not to feel any emotion.

"I’ll contact my uncle and aunt to file the report."

Lu Xingzhou stroked Jiang Man’s head, chuckling, "Wife, you’re truly kind-hearted."

"Huh?" Jiang Man found his comment quite amusing.

Was she kind-hearted?

"If it were someone else, they probably wouldn’t even bother to mention Wen Jingya’s situation to me, yet you told me," Lu Xingzhou smiled. "Even though you appear cold on the outside, you are actually more kind-hearted than anyone."

"I’m not, I’m just politely refusing, haha," Jiang Man pushed him away.

Kind-hearted, kind-hearted people are fools.

She wasn’t one.

It was just that, being integrated into the large family of the Lu Family, she had developed a bit more compassion.
